my memories of the ds are faded not unlike the waves
i remember etrian odyssey being a real slapper

radiant histora, dragon quest ix, my world is only you, the absurdly good devil survivor titles, strange journey, the ds was a little rpg machine. oh, the trauma center games too, and what would be known across the world as the ds ports of the viewtiful attorney

and a neat resident evil port of the original game
the ds was a sweet little thing. beautiful little heart

 

[bjork]

I don't even remember which DS games I had other than the Castlevanias and Animal Crossing, so I guess I have a few good and zero bad.

6. Jump Ultimate Stars
7. Dragon Quest 9

[Ren96]

I have many DS games that I haven't tried, anyway:
1) The World Ends With You (Perfect gameplay for a DS, best OST, solid story, etc. I doubt the Nintendo DS has a better game).
2) Pokemon Heart Gold/Black/Black 2 (Pokemon in its prime).
3) Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (I haven't played Portrait of Ruin or Order of Ecclesia).
4) Chrono Trigger (<3)
5) Dragon Quest V (I haven't played DQ IX yet).
6) 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.

Honorable Mentions:
-Yoshi Island DS (Satisfactory but not as good as the SNES classic).
-Trauma Center - Under the Knife (addicted gameplay, but pretty hard).

 

[legsrjust4show]

BEST

1) MEGA MAN STAR FORCE 3
2) MEGA MAN ZX ADVENT
3) MEGA MAN ZX
4) MEGA MAN STAR FORCE 2
5) Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

WORST

1) I didn't really like the touch screen controls for the Zelda games and I know I should revisit them already and I'll probably enjoy them these days but at the time I was really disappointed
2) SOMEHOW ALSO MEGA MAN STAR FORCE 2
3) the Lufia 2 remake didn't work on my R4 and I really wanted to play it and never got around to it
4) Spider-Man 2 was the first DS game I had and it sucked ass. I played it through like five times.
5) Ultimate Spider-Man was somehow worse.
